CHICKEN AND CABBAGE (GRIOT'S COOKBOOK)



Chicken and Cabbage (Griot's Cookbook) image

This recipe is on page 69 of the Griot's Cookbook (see details on this historic book in my recipe # 97676). It was contributed by the late Doris Waters. "Aunt Doris" (as she became affectionately known by me) was my 3rd and 4th grade teacher at P.S. 141 on the corner of Payson and Pulaski Streets in Baltimore, Maryland. My late mother taught 6th grade on the 3rd floor and my classroom was on the 2nd. Aunt Doris was one of those "aunts" that isn't an aunt, but rather a close family friend. I'm sure you have a few of those. "Miss" or "Mrs" was too formal and in my day you better NOT EVER call an elder by their first name. You'd wake up in China with a ringing in your ears. It was while sitting in Aunt Doris' classroom (Miss Waters during school) one day in November 1963, I first learned President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated. I and my classmates had been a rowdy bunch that day, so Miss Waters had turned off the classroom light. That was in instant cue to put our heads on our desks and to sit on our hands. The funny thing was when I peeked up to look at her, her complexion had sallowed; she seemed almost ghost-like. Tears were falling down her face. We were instructed to get our wraps from the cloakroom and to go home quietly. I made my way to the 3rd floor to my mother's classroom. Mother did not cry in public. It just wasn't her way. But while our drive home was usually filled with laughter, this day Ma said nothing whatever. Interesting how food can trigger memories. But just as we are what we eat, we are also a combination of our memories--both happy and somber. Anyway, this is a recipe created by Aunt Doris and it ended up in the published cookbook. One day I'll tell you about the time Aunt Doris and Mom went to Aruba together -- and about the pool boy named Pedro. Enjoy! ·.·´¯'·.··.·´¯'·.·Editor's Commentary: "We were visiting with Doris and she kindly volunteered to let us "try" her chicken and cabbage. Grand main dish. Next day, my husband finished off the cabbage and declared it to be better than the day before." E.M.W.·.·´¯'·.··.·´¯'·.·

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large whole chicken breasts with wing bones attached, about 3/4 pound each, halved
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 pound smoked lean bacon in one piece
1 small cabbage, about 1 1/2 pounds
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Carefully pull away the skin of each chicken breast half. Using a boning knife, carefully cut away all the bones except the main wing bone. Scrape the meat of the main wing bone from the tip of the bone toward the breast. Cut the main wing bone in half. Leave the bottom half intact. Discard the portion of the bone that has been scraped. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Cut the bacon into 1/4-inch cubes and set aside.
  • Cut away and discard the core of the cabbage. Shred the cabbage finely. There should be about 10 cups or 1 pound. Set aside.
  • Put the bacon in a kettle and cook until rendered of fat and lightly browned. Arrange the chicken pieces, skinned side down, close together and in one layer over the bacon cubes. Cook about 2 minutes or until the chicken has lost its raw look on the bottom. Turn the pieces and cover. Continue cooking about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken pieces. Add the onions to the bacon cubes and stir until wilted. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the cabbage, salt and pepper and toss. Sprinkle with paprika and stir until cabbage shreds are coated. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover the cabbage with the chicken breasts, boned side down, in one layer. Cover closely and cook 10 minutes. Lift the chicken pieces and stir the sour cream into the cabbage mixture. Replace the chicken pieces and spoon some of the sauce on top. Cover and cook about 5 minutes longer. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

CHICKEN WITH BACON AND CABBAGE



Chicken With Bacon And Cabbage image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces slab bacon, diced
3 1/2-pound frying chicken, cut in eight pieces
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
6 cups chopped cabbage
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon thyme
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon soft butter

Steps:

  • Fry bacon until golden in a heavy three-quart casserole. Remove bacon from pan and drain on absorbent paper.
  • Dry chicken pieces and brown them well, a few at a time, in the bacon fat in the pan. Remove chicken and set aside. Pour all but one tablespoon of the bacon fat out of the pan.
  • Saute the onion in the one tablespoon of bacon fat over low heat until soft but not brown. Add the garlic and saute a few minutes longer. Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned particles. Add the cabbage to the pan, cover and cook over very low heat until the cabbage is wilted, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the wine, thyme, pepper and the bacon. Return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer over low heat about 35 minutes, until the chicken is done.
  • Arrange the chicken on a serving platter. Arrange the cabbage mixed with bacon alongside or around the chicken, draining it well to leave as much cooking liquid as possible in the pan. Cover to keep warm.
  • Briefly boil down the cooking liquid to thicken it slightly. Off heat, swirl in the butter bit by bit. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and the rest over the cabbage before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For the best flavor, use a whole chicken or chicken pieces with the skin on. Bone-in chicken will also yield more flavorful results.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids will help to infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but some popular options include a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs; a mixture of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and garam masala; or a mixture of soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar.
  • Cook the chicken slowly: Griots is a dish that is traditionally cooked slowly over low heat. This allows the chicken to become tender and fall off the bone. You can cook the chicken in a Dutch oven, a slow cooker, or even in the oven.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Cabbage is the traditional vegetable used in griots, but you can also add other vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery. This will help to add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Serve with rice or bread: Griots is typically served with rice or bread. Rice is a good option if you want a more traditional Haitian meal, while bread is a good option if you want something that is a little more hearty.

Conclusion:

Griots is a delicious and flavorful Haitian dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its tender chicken, savory sauce, and variety of vegetables, griots is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give griots a try. You won't be disappointed.
